How Can I Use Quintax?

Options for Using Quintax

Anyone in a relevant professional role, e.g. in recruitment or selection, in learning and development, career counselling, leadership development, trainer etc.

Read and agree to our terms of professional use for the Bureau Service for Quintax – this is to help protect you, your respondents, and Quintax against inappropriate use of the tool. We will create and operate a Quintax Online account for you – you can ‘inherit’ this account if you subsequently train and qualify as a Quintax User. Contact us for details.

Become an Authorised Quintax User on our Pay-As-You-Go system.

This option is open to anyone who qualifies as an accredited user of Quintax. You can open an account and order units when needed in blocks, e.g. 100 or 200. Pay by invoice or credit card.

Here we open an account for you to run. You must be: already qualified in the British Psychological Society standard (Test User Personality), OR to an equivalent level in another personality measure, OR have completed Quintax training. See below for Quintax training options via rapid qualification or BPS routes.

Purchase a corporate Quintax package to get your company started.

For organisations that want to introduce Quintax for the first time by investing strategically in a package of training places and Quintax usage units to get started.

By investing up-front in Quintax use in your company, we can provide you with an attractive and economic package of training places and Quintax usage units. Quintax can be introduced alone, or alongside other tools in a layered approach to your talent management functions. Contact us for details.

Become a Volume Quintax User.

This option is open to anyone who wants to be able to use Quintax at volume levels in their organisation, e.g. in a large corporate, a university, or another similar institution.

Bronze, silver, and gold licenses to use Quintax across a large population are available. N.B. your organisation will need to have at least one qualified personality test user for this option. Contact us for details.

Training Routes to Becoming A Quintax User

Rapid Qualification Routes to Quintax Use

If you have no qualifications in psychometric assessment you can complete a 2 day Quintax Qualifying Training Course (2 days) to become a Quintax Authorised User. This includes a Starter Pack as part of the course fee of £750 + VAT. The Starter Pack contains a Quintax User Guide or technical manual, a Quintax Interpretation Guide to help in understanding Quintax profiles, and an on-line account with 100 usage units (depending on reports, enough to assess up to 5 people).

If you are already qualified as a user of a personality questionnaire, you can start working with Quintax straightaway. All you need to do to become a Quintax Authorised User is to purchase a Starter Pack (described above) for £250 + VAT and you can begin assessing people immediately. In addition, you will receive FREE optional attendance at a Quintax Conversion Training Course (1 day). The training course provides a quick way to try out Quintax and get an overview of its use and outputs.

BPS Routes to Quintax Use

If you have no qualifications but would like to follow a British Psychological Society route, you can complete this with us via our BPS Test User Ability course (includes Assistant Test User training), followed by our BPS Test User Personality (Quintax) course. Each of the 2 courses lasts 3 days and is priced at £995 + VAT per course (including Starter Pack) when booked together. The TUP course is priced at £1195 + VAT when booked on its own.

If you are already registered with the BPS as a Test User Ability on their Register of Qualifications in Test Use, you can join us just for our Test User Personality (Quintax) course mentioned above.

If you are already registered with the BPS as a Test User Personality based on another instrument then you can use Quintax immediately as described above. However, if desired, you can also follow the Quintax Conversion Training Course (1 day) so as to be able to register Quintax as an ‘additional instrument’ with the BPS. In this case the course is priced at £375 + VAT as it includes both a Starter Pack (described above) and a portfolio of exercises to be completed for the BPS qualification, and assessed by ourselves.
